# Model Card for Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 quantized to FP8 weights, activations, and kv cache

This model has been compressed to FP8 weights with static per-tensor scales for activations and kv cache for usage in vLLM.

Usage in vLLM:
```python
from vllm import LLM

model = LLM("mgoin/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-FP8-KV", kv_cache_dtype="fp8", max_model_len=4096)
print(model.generate("Hello!"))
```

Script for quantization:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from auto_fp8 import AutoFP8ForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig

pretrained_model_dir = "mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407"
quantized_model_dir = "Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-FP8-KV"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, use_fast=False)
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

# Load and tokenize all dataset samples for calibration of activation scales
ds = load_dataset("mgoin/ultrachat_2k", split="train_sft")
examples = [tokenizer.apply_chat_template(batch["messages"], tokenize=False) for batch in ds]
examples = tokenizer(examples, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt", max_length=4096).to("cuda")
print(examples)

# Define quantization config with static activation scales
quantize_config = BaseQuantizeConfig(
    quant_method="fp8",
    activation_scheme="static",
    ignore_patterns=["re:.*lm_head"],
    kv_cache_quant_targets=("k_proj", "v_proj"),
)

# Load the model, quantize, and save checkpoint
model = AutoFP8ForCausalLM.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, quantize_config)
model.quantize(examples)
model.save_quantized(quantized_model_dir)
```

## Usage

The model can be used with three different frameworks

- [`mistral_inference`](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-inference): See [here](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407#mistral-inference)
- [`transformers`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers): See [here](#transformers)
- [`NeMo`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo): See [nvidia/Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct)

### Mistral Inference

#### Install

It is recommended to use `mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407` with [mistral-inference](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-inference). For HF transformers code snippets, please keep scrolling.

```
pip install mistral_inference
```

#### Download

```py
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from pathlib import Path

mistral_models_path = Path.home().joinpath('mistral_models', 'Nemo-Instruct')
mistral_models_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407", allow_patterns=["params.json", "consolidated.safetensors", "tekken.json"], local_dir=mistral_models_path)
```

#### Chat

After installing `mistral_inference`, a `mistral-chat` CLI command should be available in your environment. You can chat with the model using

```
mistral-chat $HOME/mistral_models/Nemo-Instruct --instruct --max_tokens 256 --temperature 0.35
```

*E.g.* Try out something like:
```
How expensive would it be to ask a window cleaner to clean all windows in Paris. Make a reasonable guess in US Dollar.
```

#### Instruct following

```py
from mistral_inference.transformer import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest

tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tekken.json")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)

prompt = "How expensive would it be to ask a window cleaner to clean all windows in Paris. Make a reasonable guess in US Dollar."

completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(messages=[UserMessage(content=prompt)])

tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens

out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=64, temperature=0.35, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)
```

#### Function calling

```py
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.tool_calls import Function, Tool
from mistral_inference.transformer import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest


tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tekken.json")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)

completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(
    tools=[
        Tool(
            function=Function(
                name="get_current_weather",
                description="Get the current weather",
                parameters={
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "location": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",
                        },
                        "format": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
                            "description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location.",
                        },
                    },
                    "required": ["location", "format"],
                },
            )
        )
    ],
    messages=[
        UserMessage(content="What's the weather like today in Paris?"),
        ],
)

tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens

out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=256, temperature=0.35, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)
```

### Transformers

> [!IMPORTANT]
> NOTE: Until a new release has been made, you need to install transformers from source:
> ```sh
> pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
> ```

If you want to use Hugging Face `transformers` to generate text, you can do something like this.

```py
from transformers import pipeline

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
chatbot = pipeline("text-generation", model="mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407")
chatbot(messages)
```

> [!TIP]
> Unlike previous Mistral models, Mistral Nemo requires smaller temperatures. We recommend to use a temperature of 0.3.

## Limitations

The Mistral Nemo Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance. 
It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to
make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
